- Hmpf! Those Superphones may look quaint (I used to have one) but they
- were the best TDD's ever made in my humble opinion. That's because
- they had a *regular* keyboard with the same feel as that of an IBM
- Selectric typewriter.

- This is true. They also are both Baudot- and ASCII-compatible. I even
- tried logging into Athena from a Superphone, but for some reason, I
- couldn't get very far. Maybe there was too much background noise.
